Course description and aims
The aim of this class is to discuss what is required for a low-carbon, low-environmental-impact automobile transportation system. For this aim, it is necessary to understand the environmental impact caused by exhaust emissions in automobile transportation systems, exhaust emission measurement method and prediction method, and energy issues related to the introduction of next-generation automobiles. This class provides the outlines of the air pollution problem caused by automobile exhaust emissions, the energy problems related to automobiles, and the transition of exhaust emission regulations. Next, the exhaust gas measurement method and the exhaust gas prediction method for automobiles while driving on actual roads will be described. In addition, activities for evaluation and reduction of the environmental impact of automobile transportation systems will be explained. Finally, the students will give presentations and discussions according to the themes that what is necessary for a low-carbon, low-environmental-impact automobile transportation system.
Student learning outcomes
Understand energy problems and environmental problems in automobile transportation systems, and acquire knowledge that can make proposals for future low-carbon, low-environmental-impact automobile transportation systems.
Course taught by instructors with work experience
| ✔ Applicable | How instructors' work experience benefits the course |
|---|---|
| This class is based on the experience of the teacher in charge of engines and vehicle exhaust emission and fuel economy testing when working in a research institute for automobiles. and gives the students not only a basic knowledge of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics but also actual examples of actual engines and vehicles. |
